in accordance with the principles established by the Children’s Act 1989, the Education Act 2002 and the Children’s Act 2004 and in line with locally agreed guidance and procedures. The Beckfoot Trust and the Board of Directors take seriously their responsibilities under section 175 of the Education Act 2002 to safeguard and promote the welfare of children; and to work together with other agencies to ensure adequate arrangements within our schools to identify, assess and support those children and young people who are suffering harm. All Trust schools should use this policy and build on it locally to ensure that their individual school procedures and protocols are reflected. Legislation and non-statutory guidance relating to this policy: Children Act 1989 Education Act 1996

  • September 2020
    September 2020 Welcome to Beckfoot Trust Thank you for taking an interest in Beckfoot Trust and its schools, we really appreciate it. We are working to create remarkable schools where no child is left behind. We need great people to join us in that endeavour. We established the Trust in 2013 with two schools and have steadily built up to ten, with four secondary, four primary and two special schools. We created the Trust because we believe that schools are stronger by working together. To join the Beckfoot Trust a school has to be located in Bradford, be genuinely comprehensive in character and critically, to believe in the power of collaborative practice to drive improvement. We educate over 7,300 learners aged 2 to 19 and have 1100 staff. All of our schools are improving at pace and we have seen some remarkable transformations. There is huge pride across our community in what we stand for and are seeking to achieve. Please take the time to read our Strategic Vision document: ‘Creating Remarkable Schools’. It sets out very simply our core purpose, our key features and our ambitions for young people and our staff. ‘No child left behind’ is our mantra. Equally, please read our ‘Workload and Well Being 10 pledges’. Everything we do is shaped by these two documents. We use formal collaborative networks and extensive professional development programmes to share best ideas, identify talent and develop it. We work with external partners to accelerate our development. We believe that Beckfoot Trust is a great place to work. We offer competitive salaries, dedicated INSET days for planning, bespoke professional development including career stage leadership development programmes and much more.

The Education Covenant is making clear progress supporting our children and young people at all phases of education with opportunities that will support them in raising the attainment levels and aspirations in children, young people and families.

  • December 2020 FOI 6051-20 Police Officers in Schools
    Our ref: 6051/20 In relation to the discloure link https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/sites/default/files/foi/2020-07/july_2020_foi_1715- 20_officers_in_schools.pdf Could I please just check one point: Could you specify the names of schools to which 43.65 officers were deployed in 2019-20? Please see the attached document. West Yorkshire Police have maintained engagement with schools through the Safer Schools Partnership, a national way of working to foster intensive and long-term engagement with the school community whether pupils, teachers, governors or parents. The partnership has seen members of the Force, usually police officers, but in some cases PCSOs, fulfil their operational duties in a school-based environment as a resident member of staff. The partnership has involved schools contributing a certain percentage of an officer’s/PCSOs salary in return for their work in the school. The precise percentage has varied from school to school. It also determines the percentage of time they spend at the school, so a 20% contribution may mean that an officer spends 1 day a week at the school.
